Last Week's Whatzit

Hello, Whatziteer mavens! If you guessed last week's item submitted by Gerald Miels of Muncie was a tool, you're on the right path. If you guessed it was a hammer/wrench/pliers/nail puller, you nailed it. Yep. It's a multi-purpose tool, one that every tool box needs.

Many said it was a tool to install or remove wheel weights. Could be.

Those who said it was a multi-purpose tool included: Barbara Perry, Muncie; the Howell brothers of Farmland. Similar responses came from Wayne McGuire, Parker City, and Joyce Young, Portland.

Other uses: From Muncie, Larry May said it looked like a tool to work on fences, as did Jim Hendricks, Eaton; M. Fite, Kokomo; Amanda Getz, and Brent Kirby, DeSoto. Don and Sue Osterman said it was used to install drum brakes; battery pliers, said Karl Sodders, Redkey; Gary Mariage said it replaces metal horseshoes on a horse.
